    摘要: A waveform to be transmitted as a burst within a channel that is used for the synchronization of unsynchronized wireless communications terminals in a wireless communications system, and a method of synchronization involving the waveform, that consists of a composite waveform. The composite waveform comprises two or more component waveforms, wherein each of the two or more component waveforms has a known frequency variation throughout the burst. The composite waveform has a composite bandwidth on an order of an available channel bandwidth and each of said two or more component waveforms have a component bandwidth on the order of the available channel bandwidth. Furthermore, a range of values for the differences between the instantaneous frequencies of two of said two or more component waveforms is on an order of twice of said available channel bandwidth.

    摘要: A method for improving spectral sampling using Discrete Fourier Transforms in a processor to detect a continuous wave (CW) signal in a burst having large initial uncertainties comprises the steps of dividing the burst into smaller sub-bursts; performing a Discrete Fourier Transform on each sub-burst; and non-coherently combining each sub-burst. A further variation includes selecting an optimal number L of sub-bursts based upon system performance, and desired detection performance at a minimum operating signal to noise ratio.

    摘要: A system and method for establishing an integrated forward error correction (FEC) scheme to perform multi-rate encoding on different priority data bits of a channel access message transmitted on a random access channel between devices of a communications network, such as between an access terminal and a base station of a satellite-based communications network. The channel access message includes a first data group representing first information and a second data group representing second information, which is transmitted between an access terminal and a base station in a satellite-based communications network. The system and method encodes the second data group at an encoding rate to provide a second encoded data group, and encodes the first data group at the same encoding rate to provide a first encoded data group. The encoding of the first and second data groups is performed by a single encoder, such as a rate ¼ convolutional encoder. The second encoded data group is transmitted from the access terminal to the base over a random access channel. The second encoded data group further can be punctured during transmission to in effect decrease its coding rate, for example, to rate ½ coding. The first encoded data group is transmitted from the access terminal to the base station, and is then retransmitted from the access terminal to the base station to in effect increase the rate of coding of the first encoded data group to, for example, ⅛ coding. At the base station, a combiner/demodulator combines the transmitted and retransmitted first encoded data group, and the combined first encoded data groups and the second encoded data group are then decoded by a decoder.
